How do you shave your balls? Every time I’ve tried with my trimmer it pinches and tears my sack and I’m too traumatized to try it again unless there’s a full proof bloodless method. Usually I just pluck as many as I can tolerate while I’m sitting around watching YouTube or somethin. But it’s such a pain (literally). Pic unrelated
Dip it in conc. H2SO4

If you ain’t bathing your nuts in aqueous FA, you’re just pretending
Try a Gilette razor with a battery in it that vibrates. Keep the electric razors far away. They’re too risky.
You could ask the manufacturer of shaving products:

There’s just something great about a corporation having a guide on their website with the word balls.
It’s a surprisingly well written guide that doesn’t beat around the bush.
It even suggests “stimulating an erection” for an easier shave.
Based.
I don’t have that much experience, but your trimmer shouldn’t pinch. Troubleshooting possibilities:
- Oil trimmer blades
- Get new trimmer blades
- Get a new trimmer
Or
- Don’t use a trimmer on your balls
I’ve had to do it twice in my life, and I cut the hair with scissors first then used a cheap razor much like these: https://www.voordeeldrogisterij.nl/premium-laser-twin-wegwerpscheermes-10-stuks.html?id=272026839 Came off painlessly.
I have experienced the trimmer nicks as well, maybe a shaver would be better than a trimmer.
But i just use a razor now, either a multi-blade men’s razor or women’s body hair razors. Also i use conditioner instead of shaving foam, works just as well and easier to see what I’m doing.
Yeah OP please use a razor? Razors are made for shaving, trimmers are for trimming.
Actual tips for shaving I can give you:
- Stretch the skin a little with your free hand to make sure you have a smooth surface (helps you not cut into the skin) (unless you have perfectly smooth non wrinkled balls)
- As with any body hair I’d recommend trimming before shaving so the hairs are shorter and easier to shave
- In the same vein, frequent shaving helps keep the hairs short and makes shaving easier
- As someone else said it might be nice to use conditioner instead of shaving cream. Personally I never use shaving cream anyway because it doesn’t help me at all lol. It anything make sure your skin is hydrated, it’ll make shaving a lot smoother
I’ve used a safety razor whilst sat in the bath before and it gets great results. Don’t forget to make sure to tense the skin to get a flat surface to shave down or the results could be horrific.
I don’t have a bath anymore so now I use Veet Men Intimate Hair Removal from Amazon - https://amzn.eu/d/5yPVyqb
Works pretty well.
I trim things with an electric trimmer, but to actually shave I use a double edged razor. Some people are scared of them, and even a lot of the people who use them on their face are scared to shave their pubes with them. It’s really not that hard though. I also don’t see why you’d want more blades (which I think every disposable is like 5+), because that means if you fuck up and move your blade sideways your cut will be that many times worse.
The key thing, and this applies to all methods, is you have to keep the skin taut. You have to pull the skin that is being shaved, not just drag a blade across the loose skin. If you don’t, you’ll likely cut yourself. Along with applying to all blades, this applies to all skin also.
Don’t use an electric trimmer. Use one you can have careful control over. Safety razors give a better shave anyways.
i just keep em hairy
All these replies and nobody mentioned a kitchen blowtorch?
Do your nuts and a creme brûlée at the same time
Overkill. Just run a Bic lighter over your sac 30-40 times.
I highly recommend the “Philips Norelco OneBlade Face + Body Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver”. The attachment pictured on the Amazon link is the trimmer with skin guard. I recommended using it for the bulk of the work when dry, then hopping into the shower, lathering up, and giving everything a thorough pass with a good disposable razor. I like the “Schick Xtreme 3 Sensitive” for that. You want to do this in a hot shower so that your sack relaxes and you can tug the skin. That will give you smooth surfaces to shave.
Personally, I recommend shaving the taint while you are at it. Taint hair can help retain smell. Missed Wipe & Ball Butter is not a smell combo anyone needs when all they want is to go down on you.
grab and handful of hair and rip them out of your ballsack 👍
fuck u, that hurt. I shouldn’t have listened to you
You used the wrong hand dude…try again with the other…it should work.
now my fucking arm is dislocated. thanks 196 lemmy 🙄😒🤕
…need your mom for anything?
yes 🤕
Hand size may vary.
I didnt think that my balls would just detach like crayfish arms. fucked up.
i do this with my ass hair
I’ve done them with a straight razor and it all comes down to technique and sharp blades. Sharp blades are most likely to cut hair than skin on a flat surface. Make sure to either use a new blade or strop your SR
Firstly cook your nuts, really steam your boys. You want them very warm and relaxed so you can gently pinch, stretch and wrap the loose skin around your finger. At that point it becomes much more accessible. I recommend doing this sitting. If using a straight razor use a steep, less aggressive angle.
For weed wacking around a post, pull it tight and if its too slippery, use a single slip of toilet paper to hold on. Once everything is in tension you may tread carefully with your razor(s). You may need to pull it in many directions to reach every spot.
That will get 50-70% of hair. For the rest I recommend squatting over a mirror. Again, make sure to pull everything in tension before hand and get everything very hot and steamy. Pubes are like spaghetti, they’re softer when cooked.
Poetry
Indeed “really steam your boys” is what I needed to hear today.
Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped.
I have created the perfect cicle, I use the same razor but I have separate blades, one for my face and on for genitals. New blades are dangerous for the balls so whenever I change my face blade, the used one becomes my new balls razor. It works pretty good. Trimmer on the balls is a dangerous game unless you buy one of those machines that are actually made for that.
I second using the safe razor, albeit I would recommend using different ones for face and balls. The reason is that I assume that an ideal and universal razor may not exist, the ones I tried are usually either better suited for the body, or more comfortable to apply to the face, that is if we exclude those that are equally bad for everything.
Regarding the dulling of the blade, it may greatly depend on the brand and quality, so some experiments are required ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is The Way
